I would argue that DEI is economic racism.
Argue ? it absolutely is exactly that. Fortunately its getting canned before it does even more damage.
It is the equivalent to Nazi Germany directing its people not to shop at businesses run by Jews.
Its literally this bad.

Culture is basically a series of learned behaviors and traditions, correct?
The biggest divide between the 2 dominant racial groups is the extreme behavior that falls under “ghetto culture”. Economist Thomas Sowell did a remarkable job tracing the history of ghetto culture (learned from Southern Whites, who learned it from Scotch-Irish immigrants).
The 6 essays in his book Black Rednecks and White Liberals (written by a respected economist) might help a more complete understanding of economic racism.

Can you name companies that use diversity, equity and inclusion trainings in this way?
One right off the top of my head is Coca-Cola.
quote:
Coca-Cola employees were urged to be “less white” as part of the company’s alleged diversity training — but the material was yanked offline following a viral whistleblower post.
quote:
Just for clarity, your claim is that diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace is simply a mandate to hire minority people instead of white people in every situation?
Sort of. The mandate isn't just "white", but it's most often "white", "male" or "white male". It's a mandate that minority status takes the place of some level of actual merit, how much varies from company to company. DEI is just the current name for it, but the practice of having a goal of meeting some unnamed quotas on racial hirings has been around ever since they called it "affirmative action". I saw this in action in the early 90s in radio as the FCC pretty much told the owners of a station that unless they hired someone black at one of the stations they owned, they wouldn't be awarded a CP (construction permit) for a new station.
Don't worry though, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture put out a handy poster to help identify "whiteness" so it can be avoided.

I wish someone would have told this to the people that treated my grand parents, great grand parents, great great grandparents and so on like shite.

This is a classic set up and one of the reasons no one likes to engage you. Good thing my ancestors didn't see themselves as victims as they would have been pretty much left to die. Fast forward several generations later, I'm a first-generation college student and everyone I mentioned above still forged ahead and lived, albiet dirt poor with little to no education.

A white guy is more likely to inherit a house or property from his parents because policies weren't enacted to prohibit white people from buying and maintaining homes in areas that weren't considered slums.
Tell that to my mom, my dad, their parents, and so on and so forth.
Again, you make a LOT of assumptions about people and treat it as absolutes, but want a "discussion".
I'll once again sit back and watch you systematically wreck your own thread.
I will give you another A+ for a solid topic to discuss. Problem is, you just cant help yourself and end up destroying it.

Economic Racism
Some races are better than others statistically. It's a big boy world. No reason to deny it. Acceptance is the first step.
Asians are killing it out there. I have Indian friends killing it out there.
I've not watched too much politics or even hung around this board as much as usual since the election.
I'm just so sick and tired of the leftist social/racism bullcrap, the media bullcrap, the politicians' bullcrap. Needed a break, and don't think I'll ever fully return. This crap is too annoying.

If I'm right, she's from the NW originally, perhaps Oregon, where there were anti-black laws going into the 80s/early 90s. If I'm right, seems she's projecting that onto Southerners.

Break with white solidarity?
There's not a race out there with more solidarity than black people. Maybe talk to the mirror?
See? Just bullshite social/political drivel....

A white guy is way more likely to inherit a house or property from their parents. Even if you have to split it several ways with your siblings, it's still can be a nice chunk of money, and property is wealth.
When my parents died, Brother and I each got only $10K from selling their old tiny house for 20K. The only advantage we had growing up white was having our biological dad raising us. Most black kids don't have that.

No, its blended. We are the most diverse nation on the planet.
White people dont even have a singular culture. But the common thread has always been to rely on yourself and family more than government.

It was probably a mix of genuine compassion and strategic dependency.
This is why so many successful black Americans are becoming proud Republicans . They realized they are more capable of achieving equal outcomes if they leave the plantation and say no to handouts. It’s psychologically uplifting to feel unburdened when you stop externalizing the blame and own your own role in achieving success or failure.
Over 150 yrs ago the "30 acres and a mule" concept took root.
Policymakers tell plantaion black men, "We'll give you 30 acres and a mule!"
Plantation black man, "30 acres AND a mule?"
Policymakers, "Yep, and we'll let you VOTE! And all your friends can VOTE!"
Reject handouts, take personal responsibility for their own achievements and successes.

The average person in the US gets $0 in inheritance. 70-80% of all households receive zero dollars from their parents as inheritance.
Half of those who receive any inheritance will receive less than $10,000. Which is really $0 in the grand scheme of things. So you have 85% of all people getting less than $10,000 in inheritance.
The role of inheritance in “structural racism” is (as expected) completely overstated.

I’m sitting in a restaurant/bar in a suburban town that’s playing rap music and showing NBA highlights and college basketball. There are no black people in this establishment.
Arguing that “white” is the dominant culture (whatever white culture is - I suspect it might be going to a job on time) is an interesting take.

Right.
Hip hop has been the dominant art in our culture for a long time. In my town, everything has to be named after Native Americans.
The idea that our culture is "white" is not only wrong, its retarded.

Just a re-phrasing of "be less white". And by "be less white" they mean:
be less oppressive, arrogant, certain, defensive and ignorant because being white, therefore, must mean you are genetically disposed to being more of those things (otherwise it wouldn't be tied to race).

Ignorance is the event of simply not knowing something. Apparently, to the DEI crowd, being white means one is genetically predisposed to not know things.
Sounds kind of racist, eh?

Is it a coincidence that the most successful blacks seem to be those who adopt the dominant culture?
